5 Unique Approaches That Will Enable You To Effectively Deal With Your Problems

One thing I have realized is that each and every one of us has problems.

Personally, I have had millions of problems, which I don’t regret having because they made me realize who I really am.

My experience with problems has also enabled me to realize these 5 approaches that will help you effectively deal with your problems.

Here are they:

Don’t Think About Your Problems All The Time

The more you think about your problems, the bigger they will appear in your mind, and you will eventually believe that you can’t solve them. Furthermore, continuously thinking about your problems will lead to chronic stress and anxiety which might result in you succumbing to depression.

Realize The Problem is Small Compared to What’s Inside You

Realize that the power which created the universe exists in you, and know that no problem is bigger than this power. Remind yourself that you are a powerful being, and you have the power to overcome any type of problem you face.

Remember How You Overcame Your Previous Problems

It recently dawned on me that whenever I have a problem, and I start thinking about how I overcame a past problem that really stressed me out, I immediately attain a peaceful state of mind because I realize that I will also overcome my present problem.

Therefore, when faced with a problem, just think about how you solved a certain big problem that you once faced, and you will feel relaxed. The more relaxed you feel, the easier it will be to solve your problem because you will deal with it with a clear mind.

Don’t Overlook Your Problems

Some people ignore their problems because avoidance is less stressful. Little do they know that the more you ignore your problem, the bigger it grows.

An ignored problem often evolves into a bigger problem. There is an African proverb which says, ‘If You Don’t Fix the Crack on Your Wall, You will End Up Building an Entire Wall.’

That being said, you must try to deal with all your problems regardless of how big or small they appear, because if you ignore a problem you will have to live with a bigger problem, and the guilt of never attempting to solve your problem.

Ask for Help

Our egos often prevent us from asking for help when facing a problem because we think that we will appear weak. However, sometimes we might face problems which we can’t solve alone.

In these situations, we must ask for help because some people can provide simple solutions to our problems. Furthermore, asking for help will reduce the mental stress caused by problems.

Concluding Remarks

Therefore, avoid thinking about your problems all the time, and realize that you are bigger than them.

Moreover, never ignore your problems, but try dealing with them because you will surely overcome them. Besides this, when faced with a problem, remember how you solved your past problems, and you will realize how possible it is to overcome your current problems.

Lastly, always ask for help, when you face problems that you can’t solve alone.

5 Harsh Truths I Have Learned About Life At Age 26

At 26, I have learned many harsh truths about life that I wish my younger-self knew. I believe I must share with you 5 of these truths because I trust that it’s necessary for you to know them.

Not Everything Goes According to Our Plans

If you are in your 20s I believe you have realized that not everything goes according to your plans. I trust that there are many times you’ve planned something only to get the opposite of what you’ve planned.

As human beings, we love planning for the future because it gives us peace and makes us feel in control. However, most of the time many things happen that we had not planned for, because there is a more POWERFUL FORCE that controls life.

‘Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it’s the Lord’s purpose that prevails.’ – Proverbs 19:21 (The Christian Bible).

But you must not stop planning because of this phenomenon. Instead, you must plan, but keep in mind that sometimes things might not happen according to your plans.

When things don’t go as you planned, just remember that everything happens for the good for those who trust life.

Romantic Relationships in Your 20s Can Be a Waste of Time

Most of the romantic relationships you will establish in your 20s will waste your time and resources. I sometimes regret focusing too much on romantic relationships in my early 20s because I gained nothing from them. I wish I focused on my dreams instead of wasting my precious time on stupid relationships.

These relationships mostly lead to emotional pain and stress, and sometimes you might invest so much in a person who will never marry you. I believe that if you invest your energy, time, and financial resources in your dream rather than a relationship, you will have nothing to regret in the future.

Seasons Change

Nothing is constant. Things are always changing. You might be financially stable today, but end up extremely broke at the end of the year. Conversely, you might be broke today but end up with more than enough money tomorrow.

The biggest mistake we make is believing that our present conditions will last forever. For instance, when faced with hardships, we often succumb to depression because we think that they will last forever. Little do we know that things are always changing, and nothing lasts forever.

You will attain a constant state of inner peace if you become conscious of the fact that things are always changing because, when you are in good times you won’t worry about things changing, and when in difficult moments, you will know that good days are coming.

‘The seasons change and the summer will become winter. There are days when crops are greatly harvested and days when the seasons are too rough to plant.’ – EmpowerThyself

Most of Your Friends Are Fake

Three years after completing my high school education, I realized that most of my friends were fake. Many people, including those I thought, were true friends stopped associating with me because I was broke. I tried to bond with them but my efforts were futile.

Besides this, I also realized that some of my friends felt bad whenever they believed I was making progress. Also, others felt good when I was in difficult situations. For this reason, I have less than 5 friends today. I decided to not waste my time on making friends because most of them are useless.

Follow Your Dreams as Soon as Possible if You Want to Live the Life of Your Dreams

Earlier this year, I almost gave up on my dreams after it dawned on me that many people who live their wildest dreams started chasing them at a very early age. For instance, most actors started acting at an early age, and most musicians started chasing their dreams when they were teenagers.

It’s never too late to follow your dreams, but it’s hard to follow them when you have bills to pay and children to care. Those who have an advantage are those who start following their dreams at their teenage ages or in their early 20s because they have few responsibilities.

Therefore, the earlier the better. If you want to something, start doing it now. Don’t postpone it because the older you get, the tougher it becomes to follow your dreams.

Life is a learning process, and sometimes you might learn some things when you are too late. It’s therefore good for us to inform each other of the harsh truths we have learned about life so that we avoid making mistakes. I believe that, besides these truths, there are many more truths you have learned about life. You are free to share them in the comment box below.
